A couple of days ago we, amother and me (she is a mother), couldn't think of an actors name. His face was clear, just the name was hiding somewhere. Seriously, nice catch, Harrison F it was. Lucky guy still doing what he enjoys and does well at 80y young.

How The Dire Straits' 'Money for Nothing' Video Helped CGI Go Mainstream

The 1985 music video, which swept the VMAs, was one of the first instances of computer animation on MTV.

Gimmicks are catnip to an advertiser, something that awakens the consumer’s mind with a new stimulus (3D glasses, a museum full of ice cream [dud 404 link]) while enticing eyes towards a branded image or hands towards a wallet. When done creatively, gimmicks can either resemble an art form or become one—the entire basis for the modern music video.

“Money for Nothing,” the 1985 single by British rock band Dire Straits, is a song that hates gimmicks, or at least purports to. Co-written by lead singer Mark Knopfler and Sting, the song hones the perspective of two working-class men—the kind who wear overalls and trucker hats and smoke cigars on breaks during their custom-kitchen delivery service—as they come across MTV blaring on a client’s television. They start riffing on the music videos that they see while hauling microwaves and refrigerators, and are bewildered as the stars simply “play the guitar on the MTV” for what to them is an inconceivable paycheck. There are two hooks, one a mix of admiration, envy, and dismissiveness (“That ain’t workin’/That’s the way you do it/Money for nothin’ and your chicks for free”) and the other now so widely known that it’s completely divorced from the song itself (“I want my/I want my/I want my MTV.”)

"“I miss waking up every morning, wondering what wonderful adventure the new day will bring to us,” Sallah says. Indy rebuffs him, telling him that those days are long gone. “Perhaps…perhaps not!” Sallah says in return. And from here, we’re left to wonder just how many intrepid enterprises Indy’s got left in him.

While the plot for the film is still heavily under wraps, the trailer hints at a return to the classic tropes locked into place by past Indiana Jones installments. There are brooding villains in double-breasted military uniforms, large boulders tumbling through caves, some good, old-fashioned face-punching, and plenty of ancient artifact porn.

This time around, Indy’s newest sidekick is his goddaughter Helena, played by the great Phoebe Waller-Bridge. Waller-Bridge—no stranger to the LucasFilm universe after some CGI magic of her own as a robot in Solo: A Star Wars Story—brings her signature wisecracking front and center to keep Helena’s godfather in check.

Love that wake up every morning dialogue. Waking up is 2nd only to that other best moment at the end of every living day. Is great to wake up, and getting into bed is the syrup on the waffle. And, chuckle, had to be sure what CGI stood for didn't i. Like 110% sure. ;-)

PS: Yesterday brought another Chicago story have to tell you guys too. LOL, a fun one.
